    People like you are why I have stopped opening cases! :pac:

    I have spent way too much on opening cases and the best I have received was a Factory New AWP Worm God and one of the very first knives. Everything else has been absolute garbage. :o A friend of mine has received two knives (good ones too! Sold for £150) an AWP Asiimov Field Tested Stat-Trak, and other decent guns - lucky ba$tard! I am resigned to the fact my account is simply not on the magical list of awesome loot, so no matter what, I will never get anything decent! :pac:

    After many disappointing case opens Ive decided to just buy camo I like rather than flush money down the toliet to get the same gun camo 20 times.

    Skins are an idiot tax :pac:

    I was wondering what this whole overwatch yoke was about. Sounds like something that could easily be abused.

    The players in the match you watch are all renamed. The suspected player is called The Suspect. All the chat and voice comms are muted as well.

    You have no idea who you are looking at and so you can't really be coerced into a verdict.

    I didn't quite hear that over the sound of the knife I unboxed.

    That sounds very promising, thanks for the breakdown of the process.

    Yeah. Don't bet on BO1's.


  • Registered Users Posts: 534 ✭✭✭vlad2009


    haha good advice, but they're all BO1. its my first time betting so I threw down some low end skins, I'll see how it goes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,422 ✭✭✭Fenix


    orrrrrr small bet the underdogs :P

    I wouldn't usually watch pro games but I watched the eswc yesterday. n0thing managed to get over 30 kills in the final game which they lost 14-16. He was sick as a dog all day. Interesting that e-sports isn't hugely affected by physical well being if you prepare properly. I play like complete **** if I'm a little bit tired

    lol @ pic ^

    A smurf is someone who is a very good player at CSGO and has a high rank but they make a second steam account and play with lower levels, usually doing extremely good against the lower skill level. In order to feed their already over sized egos.

    And sure enough it kicked me down a rank because I kept bumping into the same idiot smurf... Annoying.

    (1am edit) Lovely, more smurfs proudly admitting it and again wrecking a few hours of games. Is Valve likely to do anything about these ***** or has this been the way its always been and always will be?

    (4am edit) Always finish the night on a good game :) Its such an amazing game when its smurf free and well matched.

    This video entitled "What smurfing in CS:GO feels like" explains some of the allure of Smurfing :eek:

    do skins improve weapon performance at all?

    Yes, they make them 1000% more accurate.

    Thanks for that. They say counter strike players are generally very helpful to noobs ��


    Lads the reason I was asking is some YouTube clip I seen was showing stats for a skin and it said if you sell it the star resets to yours???


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Skins are entirely cosmetic, so their worth is only in the eye of the beholder i.e. worthless :pac:

    I'm not sure what you mean by "the star resets to yours".

    Sorry meant stats not star

    Some guns are classified as 'StatTrak'. This means the gun/skin has a counter on the side of it which monitors the amount of kills with that gun/skin. If you choose to sell that gun/skin, the person who buys it will have the StatTrak feature reset to 0, so they can start counting their kills with the gun/skin.

    I have heard a lot of the smurfing and Russians (lol) seem to gravitate to Dust II so I think I'll start unchecking that from the map search. I'll give it a go.
